Abstract
A side rail can define an exterior channel. A coupling strip can be slidably retained within the exterior channel of the side rail and can be positioned to selectively engage with a coupling strip of a tonneau cover. An end cap can be positioned on an end of the side rail. The end cap can include an exterior tab extension received within the exterior channel, and the exterior tab extension can have an end face positioned within the exterior channel and spaced from a corresponding end of the exterior channel. The end face of the exterior tab extension can be positioned to engage an opposing end face of the coupling strip within the exterior channel to positively limit longitudinal sliding movement of the coupling strip within the exterior channel.
